I agree, I think it would be very dangerous to not have water available at all. The only time I have given mice anything in lieu of a water bottle was if they were shipped....they then got things like Cucumbers, Broccoli and Apples and mealworms...all of which are items that hold a lot of water. They were fine for the 6 hour plane ride using these things, but it isn't something I would subject them to on a regular basis. Water in of itself has nutrients in it that veggies or fruits do not, and it is a vital part of diet, IMO.
