Anyone knows how to ferret proof this space?

My 3 months old ferret Crevette (second picture shows the culprit) discovered that she can climb on the bathtub and on the sink next to it.

I don't want to keep her from this room since she's free roam but I'd like to be able to use my sink and all the products that I usually put next to it that are dangerous for ferrets (and I don't want my toothbrush to be stolen)

Any brilliant mind to help?

New kit destroys my hands

The adorable kit I got yesterday (third picture shows the accused) is a little land piranha. Whenever I present my hands she will annihilate them without thinking twice.

It doesn't seem to be out of fear or need for personal space since she's already constantly looking for my attention and climbing me. But It's like she can't help biting my hands.

Will she grow out of it? Is it a question of her getting used to my smell?

I read that kits need to be handled and shown love to get used to you but it's hard to handle her since she won't let my hand touch her and live to tell the tale.

I guess it's a matter of patience and courage on my part but I'd love some advice/stories of how you dealt with it.
