Do I need to start putting it in the water dish, or in some luke warm water? And I don't think the pet store was feeding at night. I think they may have been feeding during the morning hours/day time.

How can I tell if it is male or female, or would it even be too young for that?
You won't be able to tell whether its a male or female until its about 8 months to a year old. If they were feeding during daylight hours then its day night cycle may be messed up. If the frog is stressed and only if its stressed should you soak the little guy/girl. Sometimes stress is reduced if you soak them in luke warm de-chlorinated water with 2 to 3 drops of honey disolved in the water. I would say you need to offer food and leave the little guy/girl be for a night. Keep the night temps around 78 to 79. Sometimes if the soil is moist enough and there is enough humidity the frog won't use the water dish. Even if the frog doesn't get in the water you should change it everyday to every 2 days. Always change it after the frog enters the water. Offer food when the frog awakens and leave it be. Just drop them in and don't have any other bright lights besides its night light on. Break the hind legs off the crickets before putting them in. Keep us posted.
