I have flying squirrels that visit my feeders regularly but I've never seen them go to the hummingbird feeders.      Raccoons do love the nectar and have climbed up the downspouts to get on the roof in an attempt to get to the feeders.  They are still feeding babies so they will go to great lengths to get to any food source.
