Baby guinea pigs are pretty resiliant creatures it usually takes them about a week or two to become acclimated with the sounds and smells of a new home. Make your you socialize the creatures by spending time with it, petting it, if it will allow iyou to. talking to it. Keeping the pet away in a corner fo the house where people seldom visit is a sure fire recipe for a lonely and antisocial animal. Be very sure to keep dogs away from guinea pigs during their break in. And only very carefully surpervised visits afterwards. dogs think guinea pigs are good chew toys, even the nicest dog doesn't know its own strength when it comes to playing with or hanging around such small critters.

If your guinea pig just had two babies and one was born with its eyes still fused closed and also seems smaller than its sibling will the eyes open or is it a birth defect?

The baby is a lethal guinea pig, this means that it has either dalmation or roan parents. The baby is no where near to opening that eye. Take it to the vet and see what is wrong with it. If it is a lethal guinea pig, it most likely won't live for long the eyes of a guinea pig should be open at birth, you may need to take him to the vet to have him checked if they are not open after a day or so
