How long is too long to wait to carbonate my cider if I have moved it to my secondary?
 
If you've filled that sucker up to within an inch of its life and have an airlock on it, you can probably keep it there for months and months.
 
I imagine the yeast will eventually die off, but if you are talking 2-3 months, sure, they should still be able to carbonate the cider. If not, a small bit of yeast can be introduced to provide carbonation.
