If you gut load or recently fed the crickets- go live!! RES's loveth them!! They might not know what to do with the canned, and the canned can be very messy too!

"Can-O-Crickets" are well-packaged, so about the same as live. A couple points to consider:
1. Live crickets give the turtles a chance to hunt
2. Live crickets can nibble on turtles and other animals
3. Unless they are 'gut loaded' with calcium and vitamins, live crickets are very nutritious
4. Size is important- turtles select prey they can easily eat and will ignore too big or too small
5. Crickets alone are not nutritionally complete even when gut-loaded and should only be part of the balanced diet

It's important to say that tinnitus is a symptom and not a disease. Some people will have tinnitus because their Cochlea is damaged. And in a few, it could be caused due to hearing loss. But of course, the most common cause of tinnitus is exposure to loud noises. The noise can be a sudden burst, or it could be a constant banging that hits the ear drum and travels inside.
A good guide you can read about tinnitus and some good natural remedies can be found here: http://tinnitus.toptips.org

i have never given mine crikets because he is to lazy and slow to catch them. i would think the thrill of the hunt would be better. my slider likes to eat meal worms and superworms, but his favorite is feeder fish

Live whole food is always the best
