I have a 'public watering hole' (a pyrex baking dish commandeered for ferret use - sigh) that is kept outside of the ferret cages for drinking during playtime. When two ferrets are drinking from it, BOTH find it much more appealing to dip their noses in the water, then lick the water off the other ferret's nose and chin instead of lapping it from the dish. I've seen Easel and Friday do this for several minutes on end. Of course, I'm always too paralyzed by the cuteness of it all to go get the camera.
