Food, food, and food. :). While you do need to limit treats, only feed treats by hand. Figure out what they like and hand feed that. Here's info on feeding. And acceptable treats. https://tricountyhumanesociety.org/pet-tips/critter-tips/139-proper-guinea-pig-diet Remember these are prey animals so keep everything calm and quiet and non threatening. Just lists of patience and time. It may depend on the age of the guinea pigs and how much handling this previously have as far as how quickly they will come around https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/guinea-pigs-owning Good luck and have fun
