Don't hibernate them.
Wouldn't it depend on where the ants are native to and if they show visible signs of hibernation?

They look sluggish and not foraging around like they used to. that's why I was curious.

It's a risk putting them in the fridge. Unless they absolutely need it, I wouldn't do it. It's generally not needed unless they come from places where it snows often in the winter.
