Expert Answer

A guinea pig generally adapts to a new environment within a week. If it does not know you, place it in a comfortable, quiet place and do not force contact to avoid fright. During familiarization, spend time with it, let it learn your scent, and provide food and water daily; gradually it will know you and the environment and become bolder, even approaching you.
