To take water away from puppy at night?

We're picking up a chihuahua puppy in a few days. We are going to crate train so have got her a crate for downstairs and a crate for the bedroom. The downstairs crate has plenty of room for her bed and a water bowl but not much else.

The bedroom crate due to the size of the bed only has enough room for her bed and blanket. Is that okay or do we need to make space for water? Never had a puppy before so not sure of the correct way to do this. Getting different info on Google.

Have attached the picture of nighttime crate.

Thank you.

OP, with regards to crate training- you might find it easier to start with the crate close to you- preferably next to your bed, so that you
can comfort puppy during the night initially, and are alerted to his/her need for toileting. We did this with our 8 week old puppy, and then gradually moved the crate to the bedroom door, out onto the landing, to the top of the stairs, then bottom of the stairs, and finally the kitchen. We did this over about 8 weeks. She never once cried during the night, and happily trots into her crate and snuggles down whenever she feels like a nap. She sleeps calmly and happily in the kitchen all night.
