Ferrets eat multiple times during the day, so you need to do more than 2 meals. Since I both kibble feed and raw feed, I can get away with 2 raw meals, but the rest of them they get to eat some kibble when hungry.
Problem with what you want to do with the kibble is, that at that stage they're likely not going to see kibble as a food, so if you do end up without any frozen raw in the house and decide to give kibble, they probably won't want to eat it. Instead, keep a bag of freeze-dried raw for emergencies. You just rehydrate it with some warm water and then give it to your ferrets. It works very well for emergency situations. But do give some once in a while so they get the idea and remember that it is food they can eat.
I use mostly PureBites, Stella & Chewys, but also NV Instinct's FDR.
