yes,thanks for asking.
I had increased the temperature before they went into hibernation.
Obviously then they had to be cooled down etc. I left them to hibernate for 6 weeks.

The two remaining ones have a higher temperature now, and I bath them, but they are still very sleepy. However they have nibbled on some leaves and seem ok.

If you can keep the light levels higher too, as they can react to brighter light as well as heat:0)

I have a UV light on, as well as a heat lamp, so hopefully they'll be ok now.
Thanks
