How do you care for a baby opossum?
July 29th, 2008crazypup43 asked:
My family and I found a baby opossum on a bike riding trail. Its mother and five siblings had been killed by a car earlier. The baby is about six inches long, including its tail. It can’t be more than a few weeks old. We never touched it because my mother said it could have rabies.

We put it in a big Tupperware box on the porch and gave it pieces of apple to eat and water to drink, along with some old rags and weeds from the garden. How can we care for it further? What can it eat?
Thanks for all your help!
