I am not sure this will make them spin, but if you are able to leave some of your crocheted end strings unwoven into the critter, then you can use that to attach more string, or you can sew the bit of yarn/string on that you need to attach it to the top ring thing. The patterns should be able to explain it better.
Once you have all the animals attached to the hoop (which is usually going to be covered with something either a crocheted circle or something sewn or whatever) then you can bring the longer yarn up to the top of the thing all the critters are hanging from and tie the string into a triangle/cone shape. Make one strong loop out of all the strands to hang it with. The whole thing should spin if not each little critter.
Hope that made sense. If I ever get my mobile done, I will try to post a picture. The birdie mobile pattern I sent has the strings done how I am trying to explain...only just fewer strings than I was envisioning.
Hope that helps.
