Pond frogs

im saying greenfrogs or leopard frogs because she said spots

Can these guys be encouraged to hibernate if I provide them space in my extra fridge? I really dont want to have to feed them live food all winter long. Is it best to let them hibernate and was it a good idea to remove them from the pond. Should I have just rehomed them in the swampy creek just a few yards away? They do have spots and in just a couple of days inside they are getting slimer and greener - whats that all about? As you can tell I dont have any frog knowledge. Thanks

Can you take pics? Sorry I can't help with the hibernation business, as I have never hiberanted any frog before. I do hibernate an eastern milk snake I have every year. When fall rolls around he stops eating and I have put him a cool spot to prevent him from wasting away. So down to the garage he goes. I provide him with a thick bedding and a bowl of water. From time to time I check in on him. When the garage gets to cold, I move him into the cellar.
