I think that after WotR, the Ents probably did go back to sleep and become more treeish. They had no purpose to stay active and awake, so they most likely just rooted themselves in the ground and stayed in Fangorn for the rest of their days. I don't see any other way they could have "left" ME. They would be a tad big for the ships to the Undying Lands.

Every time I re-read LotR, I take a bit more time for longer looks at trees. I have to entertain the notion that perhaps one of them is a descendant of the Fangorn Ents. After awhile, since I get no waving hello of a branch, and since the trees seem to always be in the same spot, I forget to look and wonder. Then, I'll re-read LotR, and wonder all over again. Can't help it! Then again, trees do wave, don't they? Heehee. In fact, they wave a lot!

They probably stayed for a while and cleaned up the mess they made in Isengard until Aragorn returned there to search the whole place of the loot Saruman hid from them. Treebeard hasn't mentioned anything about going back to Fangorn Forest right away when they met Frodo and the rest on their way home.

Oh, they also destoryed an army of invading Orks trying to get at Rohan from the north.
