After making some phone calls to various animal rescue agencies today, we discovered that apparently nobody could really help us retrieve Ivan! The best advice we got was from the SPCA, who said we should just tear up the floor. With the help of my uncle, we pulled off the floorboards in the hallway just outside the bathroom, and discovered that Ivan was actually right there below the hall floor, rather than under the bathtub!

After a few boards were pulled off, he jumped out of the floor and made a dash for the access panel in the bathroom, through which he'd originally entered - luckily, we'd put the cover firmly in place beforehand. I grabbed him and placed him in the bedroom with his sister, where he's currently hiding under the bed. But I'd much rather have him hiding under there than below our floor!

Thanks again to everyone who offered advice and well-wishes!
