Here are a couple things to try to convert the liquid eater to kibble -
slowly make the recipe more crunchier, a little at at time so that
eventually they are eating almost all kibble.
 
Drop a small handfull of kibble into warm water and stir.  Hand feed one
piece at a time as a treat, just a few pieces leaving them wanting more.
 
Sometimes hand-feeding is an emotional crutch.  Try some special one or
two on one time then try the hand-feeding moist kibble routine.  Save early
morning and late nights for feeding the liquidy food if possible, times you
know you'll be home on a regular basis.
 
If the ferret(s) have been on moistened or liquid food for some time, check
the teeth to see if tartar has built up.  If so have your vet scrape as
much off as possible.  It doesn't take long for it to build up.
 
Hugs to all. tle
