Hazel is a great name. Guinea pigs can be very shy. I would recommend giving it a few days for Hazel to get use to her new environment. I than would recommend finding a really yummy treat and slowly start giving them to her. You might have to put it in her cage and work up to hand feeding her. Typically once they are more comfortable they are pretty friendly. Hope that helps
