Marmot Feet Problems

I've only done the feet for a Marmot walk cycle so far (sorry for being ill guys) but I think we are going to have problems with the size of the feet and them going into the body of the Marmot:


Also when I just moved the leg back slightly there was this break:

I made the walk quite bouncy, I am going to see tomorrow if keeping him higher off the ground with his torso or rotating it will accommodate the feet, if not we may need to make the legs longer? or reduce his body size?

I don't know how to fix the break though- any ideas Tara?
