 Shedding problem...ugh

Well it seems as though I’m having my first shedding problems. I’ve kept my ball’s humidity over 60% for the last week because he has been in shed. Last night, I checked on him and the shed skin was falling off of his belly. Now all that remains is the shed skin on his head and about an inch or two of his body. Shoud I just leave him be and hope he gets it off? Or does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

i had a similar problem just last week. i got some good sugestions from people on here. what finaly worked was the old pillow case. get it wet with warm water damp not dripping. put him in it tie it shut and put him in his cozy warm cage. i left him there about oh 20-30 min and let him out . he had the rest off an hour latter. thats what worked for me atleast.
