Default length of wind down

My torts are 16 months and 28 months old. What I'm wondering is how long should the wind down period be . Ive read conflicting opinions so thought I would ask all you experts.
Today is Day 1 and I'm going to use the fridge method.
I wont lie i am nervous but believe it's the natural thing to do.

I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing with the younger one as she is so alert and i feel guilty with holding food. The older one is sleeping all the time unless i disturb her then shes not bothered about food. So I'm definitely letting her hibernate.
Problem is I have no where to separate them to allow the younger one food and light.
Really don't know what to do
