Temperature

In winter do you need to turn up the temperature of the vivarium I have it on at 32 degrees during the day and 22 degrees at night

The temps should be held the same during winter and summer. You may have to adjust the temps a little when the cold sets in, depends on how cold your house is kept.

Some people like to keep it consistent all year and some people like some seasonal variation. Depends on species, age, and how you keep them. It's sort of up to you. For a redfoot, I would guess that most keepers don't do a whole lot of seasonal variation, other than what occurs naturally.

We normally have the heating on most of the time in winter
