Two red-ruffeds were recently born at Folly Farm in Pembrokeshire and I believe a pair (or was it three) were born at Marwell(?).

The subspecies, V.v. variegata, V.v. subcintum and V.v. editorium are defined by differences in pelt colour but have yet to be fully recognised as subspecies (as far as I know). Though they've been referenced in some literature, they aren't current valid taxonomic names.
