    No need to panic at this point. Has the frog ever been treated for gastrointestinal parasites? That could be part of the problem, if there is a problem. If it doesn't eat by Sunday take it to a vet. If you can bring a fresh fecal sample, no more then 24 hours old.
    I think your tempertures are fine, the humity could be higher. Misting the living **** out of the cage should help. And if you change the substrate to sphagnum moss, that will help too as it is pretty good at holding on to moisture.
    So in conclusion, my guess is it's either GI parasites and/or too low of a humity. Then again, there may not even be a problem.

    i have mixed the soil with moss so its about 70% soil and 30% moss i noticed before the crickets would hide in the moss so i just mixed it with the soil to it was easier to find any dead ones.

    i need to invest in a better fogger i did get the exo small fogger but i have found that is it not that great.

    what one would you recommend. i am on a budget as some i have seen are about £80

    so far she has not been out but once she is i will watch her for a bit and see how she is behaving im hoping the light will have helped with the colour change.
    there is just not enough information about the particular species.
    everything i have found just seems to controdict each other. so its been more or less try and error so far.

    I have never used a fogger. I rely on sphagnum moss and never have been disappointed. A large water bowl will help too.

    YouTube - Kassina Maculata Coppia
    just found this video on youtube and mine is the same colour as both this person owns so im thinking the colour change is no longer a problem just the eating side is a problem

    how do i make a feeding box maybe if i try that some how it would help and then at least i can work out what she is prepared to eat and what she wont eat.

    also just found out i have 2 male wtf as one of the "girls" has just started croaking

    I use a Rubbermaid box to feed my white's in. Its fine for them, but it is not all frogs. Example - I wouldn't use it with a strictly nocturnal species that is heavily dependent on access to water, like Agalychnis callidryas. I would only use it with frogs that readily feed regardless of time of day, like White's or gray treefrogs.

    I would leave the frog where he/she is and I might change the substrate to sphagnum to help to keep the humidity up.

    ok i will go in the shop at the weekend and pick up some more moss
    i have just ordered some smaller crickets, locusts, fruit flies, earth worms from an online live food delievery company so i will try these just to see if it makes any difference.

    i have never fed them earth worms or wingless fruit flies would you recommend a few every couple of days or do that not make much difference i know the wax worms are mainly fattening so its a treat but what about worms and flies

    Earth worms are fine, I would think that fruit flies may be too small for them. However, my tomato frogs will eat any bug regardless of size, including fruit flies. Maybe your Kassina will as well. If you do use the flies keep in mind that they can walk up any surface. So, if the mesh on your enclosre is not tight enough, they just might walk away on you. I use paper towels in between the top and the bottom of my critter keepers and/or tanks with amphbians I feed fruit flies too. That list includes my blue poison dart frog, cave salamanders, red-banded rubber frogs, West African rubber frogs, western green toad, clown treefrogs, and red-eyed leaf froglets.
