If your confidant that they are in good health, then hibernation should be fine. As you are only thinking about a short period of time this should be fine. Keep an eye on their weight and if you notice any sharp decreases in weight then pull them out of hibernation.

The ideal range is between 35F - 50F. 40F is the ideal.

Good Luck, Keep an eye on them since they are imports.
