It really is a problem. We tried twice no for more than an hour. From every angle, every height, even built a two foundations high pit, or with medium gates on a flat ground.
The only spot you can feed it, is next to the front leg. And you'll get hit every time, after 2-3 feedings if you're lucky.
After that point you'll get hit every time you get in reach. It's just impossible.
If it somehow works for you Selira, good for you, but it doesn't for afaik everybody else anymore.
I really hope they address this as soon as possible, as it is these kind of things, that demotivate players and drive them away.
If you decide that tamed animals are important, you need to make them accessible.
