I heard on here from another similar case that they sometimes do this to mark the food as theirs. I wonder if maybe, you could rub your hand in his shavings and then use your hand to place his food down? That way if he's marking it as his, he might not feel the need to mark it with his pee. Alternatively, you could put it straight into his nest it would smell like him AND be in a place he considers his...?
