Here is a site with things to feed and not to feed(it's in paragraph form so have to skim through it)

http://www.spca.bc.ca/AnimalCare/guineapigcare.asp

also wash everything really well first to remove any pestesides.
Iceburg lettuce has no nutritional value so it is not recommended to feed to Guinea pigs.They do however need and thrive on Romaine lettuce!You can also feed them collard greens,dandelion greens(which they LOVE)green,yellow and red peppers,.Guinea pigs do not need "treats"they love healthy food,pellets and hay.
