Opinions on bonding a quad ... Calling all bonding experts!

So I'm pondering about whether or not I'd be able to get my two couples into a quad. I'm not entirely sure whether it'll ever be possible though following on from when Archie and Leo had a fight around a year ago and Leo ended up partially castrated :(

It's not something I want to jump right into so I'm obviously going to think about it long and hard and get a lot of opinions!

Archie and Blanches bond is amazing, they love each other so much and are extremely tame and friendly.
Leo and Lois' on the other hand isn't as strong and six months on there is still a bit of fur pulling and humping every now and again, plus they're very skittish and wary of humans. :?

I'm a bit worried of breaking up bonds, especially Leo and Lois'.

What would peoples opinions be on this following on from such a serious fight?

I'm not in a position to run out and attempt this straight away, accommodation would need to be planned etc, it's purely just a thought at the moment :)
 
From what I remember, they didn't actually fight? Just Leo was a male (and no one knew) and he humped the wrong way round and Archie said 'no thanks' to that.

Quads are incredibly tricky, due to hierarchy issues, mainly. So if you do do it, put aside a good 2 weeks to stay with them through all their 'testing'.
