I agree with everyone else, food and water should be available 24/7, and withholding water does not aid in housebreaking. Having water available actually helps the bladder to gradually stretch and grow. So glad this little guy found a good home! Don't forget, Nutrical is mainly sugar and protein should be available because it will keep the blood sugar stable for much longer. With sugar you often get spikes, up and down, and you don't want that.
