You might already know this but this is a really good cheat in Meep Herder Village if you enjoy collecting spooce more than herding meep. All you have to do is go behind one of the muds that won't move, then you pick him up and walk to the mud transformer and drop him in. Do this to all of them (and collect spooce along the way) and then transform them into tomohalkers. When they transform they will listen to you and you don't need to touch the meep!
I hope this helps
