Not necessarily, but a little bit of water should be ideally available through the night. Feed him 3-4 times daily, at good intervals (try to feed him quite late as last meal). Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
