Do you have a garage? basement? crawlspace? Shed? all those places work well for hibernation.

hmm. I've heard that it is bad to hibernate outside. but question for other somewhat experienced ant keepers: would it be possible to wrap them in a towel and place them in a cardboard box to keep the snow off and set them outside?
