You can tell if dehydrated if he has sunken eyes and yellow/orange urates. You often don't see them drink. It's often not the number of times you spray but the length of time. It con often take 20 mins to stimulate him. Use warm water. I take mine out, place him on a plant in the kitchen sink. Spray heavily with warm water. Run the tap gently beside him.
