One of the tricks I use with rescue kittens who need to be weaned/changed over is that I mix a bit of high grade kitten food (dry) into the wet, let it sit for a bit so it gets soggy, and then feed it to them. Sometimes they wolf it right down. Sometimes they eat around it. Most of the time it takes about 2 days of this before they realize it's "good" and they can eat it.
Keep in mind that a kit who is pretty young hasn't quite managed the whole "teeth" thing yet, so they're still investigating how it all works. I find this mixing technique really, really handy for getting babies to eat dry as well as wet food.
And my vet approves (and uses the same trick when she needs to handle a young cat with similar circumstances). BTW, this isn't specifically for Bengals, but it's worked on every kit I've worked with, so I'd give it a go.
