Hello and welcome.
All good advice above but I would try and keep his day to day way of life the same as your mother has been doing this side of hibernation as you could upset him.you will probably find he will tell you when he wants to hibernate and when he has done so then put him in an appropriate box and place.
When you get him up in spring then I would start to change his diet a bit at a time and I'm sure you will be enjoying him for years to come.
