See - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dik-dik#Diet

"Like all even-toed ungulates, they digest their food with the aid of microorganisms in the their four-chambered stomach"

They are a favorite of many animals, particularly cheetahs.

"Dik-diks are hunted primarily by monitor lizards, and smaller cats such as the caracal, as well as lions, hyenas, wild dogs, and humans. The dik-dik's other predators are leopards, cheetahs, jackals, baboons, eagles, hawks and pythons."
