A [[Mutualism (biology)|mutualistic relationship]] has evolved between dwarf mongooses and [[hornbill]]s, in which hornbills seek out the mongooses in order for the two species to forage together, and to warn each other of nearby [[birds of prey|raptors]] and other predators.<ref>Anne O, Rasa E (1983). "Dwarf mongoose and hornbill mutualism in the Taru desert, Kenya." ''Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology'' '''12''' (3): 181–90.</ref>

The diet of the common dwarf mongoose consists of [[insect]]s (mainly beetle larvae, [[termite]]s, [[grasshopper]]s and [[Cricket (insect)|crickets]]), [[spider]]s, [[scorpion]]s, small [[lizard]]s, snakes, small [[bird]]s, and [[rodent]]s, and is supplemented very occasionally with berries.{{cn|date=November 2021}}▼
