A cage of chicken wire will keep squirrels from eating the sprouts. I tried crushed red pepper they ignored it and still chewed a few sprouts.

I'm with Bernie, shoot them.
If you are more of an animal lover you could always trap them. Dig a hole and open a can of green peas and place around the hole. When the squirrel comes for a pea, kick him in the hole.

I have a dachshund but he doesn't patrol the front yard where my hop planter is!
But I do have a bottle of what is called hot pepper wax that I picked up in the Meijer plant section that seems to be working. Also some chicken wire around the planter. I did not do that for my first rhizome and and just as it started to sprout the squirels got it.
