Everyone we've talked to says that they need exercise time out of their cages, but all she does is sit in the corner of the living room and shake. Suggestions?

When she's outside of her cage, I would make sure it's warm enough for her, because guinea pigs are comfortable in the temperature range from 65-75 degrees. They also prefer a low relative humidity. Just make sure it's not drafty or really cold when she's outside of her cage. This could be why she's shaking. Also, you might want to consider getting another one, because guinea pigs are social animals, so a friend for her would help.
