I say give her some food and then put her in a humidity box with a wet towel or wash cloth depending on her size and leave her in there. If all goes well youll have a shed and a nice pile of dukey that the rabbit pushed out lol. The shed box always works for me and they normally shed without the box after they eat.

I did go ahead and give her a rabbit. As for the humidity box goes, I dont have one big enough. She is 9 feet and fat. She is in an Animal Plastics cage. I have humidity up to 80%. Mabey I will just put a wet towel in her cage.
Thanks for everyones advice.

Sometimes they go through longer shed cycles, it's really nothing to worry about. It all comes off in the end....that's pretty much across the board too, had it happen with countless differnt species....some go fast, so go slow, some like to switch it up.

Exactly. TYpically you get longer shed cycles in the cooler months. but its not uncoomon to get one in other times of the year. You've got everything set up right, so i would go to any extra trouble bro. ;)
