If Hiccup only bit it and didn't ingest any, he'll likely be OK. However, if you are concerned or know how much he ingested, you can contact the Pet Poison Helpline - https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ - (there is a fee for this service) to see if any action needs to be taken. If he does start showing any signs of illness such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, drooling, etc, seeking veterinary care immediately is best.
