    Re: Chlorhexidine solution

    I don't really measure - probably use more than I really need to but the stuff isn't exactly expensive nor is it really harmful - so have fun with it.

    Re: Chlorhexidine solution

    Just buy a gallon of distilled water and add one oz of chlorhex. Works fine at that concentration. :-)

    Re: Chlorhexidine solution

    1-2oz per gallon. I got the 1 oz pump for my solution bottle so it's easy to dispense the right amount.

    Re: Chlorhexidine solution

    You'll notice that Reptile Basics, on their pitch for the gallon size of Chlorhexidine Gluconate, says "follow instructions on label for use and mixing."

    When in doubt, always follow the manufacturer's label.

    Also see the ProExotics FAQ for precise mixing instructions: http://www.proexotics.com/virosan_info.html
