- Chocobean 17y agomost carnivorous plants have tiny hairs and spikes that only point downward, making it very difficult for insects and other things to climb anywhere but down further into the digestive liquids. I would imagine that this one also has that feature.

When the rat leans into the plant to drink the saccharine liquid, it slips on the pitcher's waxy interior, and gets stuck in the gooey sap.
