For the eggs don't worry, they can survive cold temperatures and will not develop during winter. For example I'm keeping many of my colonies at around 7*C right now, and they're doing absolutely fine.

If you live in a temperate region she should be indeed in hibernation, but just for making sure, do you know what species is she?

No problem!
You should keep her between 5-10 °C in a dark and quiet place. As long as there is water in the test tube you won't have to do anything else other than check on her every 2/3 weeks to see if she's doing fine, until spring comes.
If you have any other doubt just ask!
