I had to keep a friend's guinea pigs for two weeks a few years back. Little buggers just cowered for two weeks making noise - I don't think they liked me much :(
They can be a pain in the ass; they have to be handled a ton before they settle down. Dahlia is a lot calmer than her sister and has eaten a bit, but Iris is difficult to pick up and pretty much just sits behind her sister in the cage. I'm told it actually takes about two weeks for them to start to become tame if you handle them enough and get them to take treats from your hand.
