As a person who has lost Drosophyllum, Sarracenia, Flytraps, and numerous Utrics to squirrels and possibly a raccoon, i have come to hate and fear those fuzzy-tailed rats.

Birds also seem to like some nepenthes pitchers and will peck them apart.

I have found that if the vegetation covers all the soil it minimizes the appeal to squirrels. However, if there are bugs or other tasties in the pitchers, you might lose those.
