My rabbit won't stop shedding heavily for a month, is he okay?

Question

I know that rabbits shed seasonally and usually stop shedding after a week or so. However, mine started his shed but since then, he hasn’t stopped shedding. It’s a rather heavy one too. There’s no bald spots. This is abnormal for him because even his heavy shed stop after about 2-3 weeks. It’s been about a month. Could he be sick or am I over thinking? Thank you! He eats and runs around normally. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | unneutered | 4 years and 9 months old | 5 lbs

I would not be worried unless he has bald spots or is itching his fur like he is uncomfortable. That being said, you know him best, so if you are worried there is no harm in having your vet examine him just to be safe.
