The same exact thing happened to me too when I tried to switch their food.
What worked for me was....I took a little bit of the TF, put it in a
tupperware bowl with a lid, mixed it up with Marshall's real good and let
it sit over night.  When I put it in their dish the next day...and came
home from lunch...I noticed that they had eaten it.  Mixing the foods
together kind of blended the smells.  I eventually added more and more TF
and they still ate it.  They havn't had Marshall's for 3 years.  They love
their TF (I also mix Eukanuba chicken & rice in with their TF).
 
Good luck, I hope this helps.  Keep in mind, you might have to do it for
about a week or two before they are accustomed to it.
