I have the same problem with my male tortoise (spur thigh), however I get round it by always wearing plastic shoes when I go in his run and these he gets used to as being mine. Next I give him a shoe from time to time that smells like leather so he can practise butting and biting as if it were another tortoise - he enjoys this and I tend to do this when he is in the outdoor run and a bitbored. I don t have a problem when I enter with my plastic shoes to feed him as he identifies me even by my footwear. Hopethis helps ...
