hi guys ,I have C. vicinus and C. clarithorax, and I found they move slow on late Oct, so put them in refrige, and just don't know whether CA02 ?

Ca02 do not need hibernation. For the winter keeping them in room temperature does the job

Just to confirm, they’ll enter and complete diapause without a temperature change? Mine have been dormant for like 1.5 months, with their larval development arrested and no new eggs laid. I was wondering if I should pop them into the fridge at a higher temperature for good measure (getting a mini fridge this month).

Not complete diapause like hibernating species. They will still move around but there is no need for a cooler or mini fridge. All you have to do is keep them room temperature for 2-3 months
