I got these seedlings going under growlights with a heating mat. How would you folks recommend moving them outdoors? They’re rather delicate looking so I don’t want them to get sunburned.

First, I would repot them into larger pots. Something that small will dry out very quickly outdoors. Then, put them outside with indirect light for 2 weeks. Then move to where they get a couple of hours more of light every couple of days. Once they are in full sun, move them to their final location. Be sure to keep them wet!

Thanks for the tips. I will definitely repot them.

All Sarracenia regardless of age should get 6 or more hours of full Sunlight.

Great pic. I have my other varieties outdoors already, and their coloration is primo. Thanks for the advice.

I agree that 2 hours of sunshine per day isn't enough for Sarracenia seedlings. The OP needs to ease them from indoor grow lights to outdoor direct sun. Even moving from inside a greenhouse (under the milky, translucent plastic) to direct, unfiltered sun can be a shock for the plants.
