Well, keep them in cages, close the door of the cage every time you leave, pet them, ALWAYS TALK IN A NICE VOICE, let them out to run (watch them or get them a small animal play pen. Watch out if you have cats/dogs or any other animal), use Carefresh or any other non-toxic obsorbent bedding in their cage, clean their cage once a week or so, you can use an animal disinfectant spray to make sure they will not die, make sure they always have water, pellets, fresh hay, something to chew on, daily fruits and veggies (remove what they didn't eat at night time), and maybe a toy at all times. Let them in your lap to pet them and gain trust with you. Clip their claws (nails?) when they need clipping (do it carefully. It's just like clipping a cats nails.) Maybe even get him/her a friend...they are social animals. (if you have a male and female, make /sure/ one's fixed!!)
That's just all of the basics that came to mind right now. ;) I advise you pick up a Guinea Pig care book at any pet store if you're interested in purchasing a little furry Piggie.
