brumation - skinks

is there any thing different you need to do for 'winter shutdown' for skinks (esp the sandswimmer)? do they completley stop feeding during winter?
any other info would be really appreciated

thanks
Riley

I feed mine all year round, I don't bother to turn the heat down, though they realise it's winter and slow their eating a tad, and breed fine late July, & for the rest of spring / early summer
