They may only eat the MF food for a few days, but eventually will start eating the TF. Mix the foods in an airtight container for a few days before offering it to them so the TF picks up the smell of the MF. Slooooowly increase the amount of TF. Take your time, give it a couple weeks or more--you don't need to rush. I ran a shelter for a couple years, and had to convert ferrets from all kinds of cat and ferret foods. I even had one that only ate frozen smelt (a small fish) and Tender Vittles! It took a while, but she eventually learned to eat a nice mix of TF, Iams and other quality foods.
