I think my C. Modoc colony is ready for hibernation, I just got the first frost today in my region and I think their ready to hibernate, any one got tips specificly for Camoponotus hibernating? Also should I still feed them and how often?

No, you don't need to feed them. As far as I know hibernating Camponotus is like hibernating any other ant.
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.
