A few tricks I have found that work:

Place a small amount in their mouth.
Mix it in with a little bit of baby food or duck soup.
Mix it in with their regular food.
Cover it in a bit of liquid "treat." Some use ferretone, mine love ferretlax.

PS Mine will eat red meat (and pretty much any other human food) but she will NOT eat chicken. Try a different meat. Also, mine like the taste of bbq'ed meat as opposed to raw or microwaved.
