mild temps, anyone else having hibernation problems?

All my Hermanns are hibernating in my garage and it's now 13c! They are constantly moving around and a few have their eyes open, very worrying especially after losing one of my males last week. I think i shall have to bring them out and try next year.

I also rely on the fridge. It's better from the point of view of monitoring and controlling the temperature. I know a box method can work well but it's not an option for me due to wildly varying temps in the winter here.
