Blue Duiker is highly selective and appears to use scent in order to select the highest quality foods available. Stomach contents from a single individual indicate a strong preference for the leaves from Canthium obovatum; leaves from Canthium mundianum, Cassine papillosa, Apodytes dimidiata, Olea capensis macrocarpa, and Olinia ventosa were also present in small (but not trace) quantities. Fruit from C. mundianum, seed pods from Dietes iridioides, and traces of fungi were also identified.

Blue Duiker uses regular pathways within forested habitats, including “game trails” created and used by larger species. The alarm call is a shrill whistle.

Blue Duiker, and the fragmented nature of the remaining forest pockets may lead to issues with long-term population viability. Viable populationsstill exist in several protected areas. Low populations have in the past been attributed to a rise in Caracal (Caracal caracal) numbers, although it now appears that habitat quality plays a significant role in determining population size.
