When you attempt to pick up your guinea pig she retreats or lunges at you with a nasty bite but when she is on your lap she is sweet and calm how do you pick her up without her biting you?

Try feeding her or just leaving her alone for a little bit.

To add on to the top answer, yes you should leave it alone for a few minutes to calm down or try to feeding it one of its favorite treats or something, then after its calm you can try again. Another way, you could wrap a folded towel around it to pick it up, leave it in for a minute then you can take the towel off and it should be fine. A lot of patience, love, the right care and attention will make it nicer and calmer.. eventually it will fall in love with you and be fine :) Good Luck and I hope this helped you.
