Hiding ferrets

Hi!

I'm a new ferret owner of my beautiful Silvermitt Jill called Peach. She is a handful when it comes to play time and when she does something bad, like bite or poo in the wrong place, she will tend to run and hide under my bed or TV unit.

These furnishings mind you are only about 1/2-1 inch, just enough for her to squeeze underneath and nothing I can modify to prevent her from getting underneath.

Once she is underneath it is hard to coax her out without seriously getting bitten (blood drawn fingers and screams from my mouth) as I believe sometimes she might feel threatened. But I call her name and offer treats she still wont come until I leave the room.

Seriously there has to be a better way of getting her out of those places without getting hurt or leaving the room.

If anyone has a better method than leaving the room to catch their mischevious ferret then I would love to know. Thanx.
