We have had these two for 4 months. I’ve read that I should put them away for the winter in the refrigerator.

What do I need to keep them happy and alive in the house?

Where do you live tem wise? Do you have a winter? If so I just put mine in a colder room or the garage and make sure they have water but not to much just enough they don't dry

Of course! I have a room in my garage so I let it get light while it goes dormant as well don't actually know if they need it lol
