I wouldn't hibernate them unless you keep them outside
and then I would just release them until next spring.
I raise Alligator snapping turtles and keep them warm all year around with submersable heaters.

snapping turtles overwinter here in TN. fine!
I keep them in stock tanks about 18 inches of
water ,will freeze up in winter but have not
lost any in 7 or 8 years! just make sure they are
good and fat in fall,come sprig they are hungery
they go thru a lot of fish and chickens!
