How do you help your guinea pig become less timid?
The biggest impression you can make on your guinea pig I would think for sure would be when they are young. After that you can only do so much. But make sure that you try to never startle your guinea pig (running by it's cage or grabbing it suddenly etc.) and you can give him/her treats from your hand to help him/her understand that your not going to hurt them. Make sure that you take them out often and when you are picking them up try to stroke them first and not pick them up all of a sudden.

How do you get a guinea pig to let you pick it up?
For the first day you get your guinea pig you should leave him alone for 1 - 3 days. When those 3 days are up you start talking gently to him so he can get use to you even if it includes talking to your self ( and still you do not pick up your piggy). When all of these days are up then the time is right to start picking up him or her,but you still have to do everything since the first day.Every time you pick him up make sure that you give him a couple of treats. And last of all make sure he see's you refilling his water or food so he realizes that you are a caregiver.

If it's possible you can try getting another female guinea pig or separating the the guinea pig and rabbits.
