Googling it seems to point to aspen being fine for guinea pigs.
but piggies eating any bedding is not good I would switch it

Also how does he seem in himself?
Is he happy and pooing normally?
Does he have lots of other tings in his cage to play with and keep himself entertained?
Try popping in some cardboard boxes, toilet roll tubes stuffed with hay, and large piles of hay in general.
Maybe he is just playing with the bedding a bit becasue it's new and guinea pigs often 'explore' with their mouths.
