Help - abandoned guinea pig

Spotted a guinea pig in the wild on my dog walk. Couldn't do anything then but going to see if I can catch it - any ideas as to what may tempt it into a box?

Vegetables. Mine loved raw carrot and beetroot.

Poor thing, carrots go down well
You might need to wait a while though they very shy

Large box, full of hay, on its side.
some nice veg (carrots, red pepper, broccoli)
retreat away and wait quietly and still

Nuggets and pea flakes were like crack to mine, carrots and cucumber as well. Maybe put hay in the box too, to make it feel safe? Let us know if you catch it, it must be cold, poor thing.
