Find mother opossum dead babies still nursing on her. what to do help now?

Last spring our dog killed an opossum in our yard where it was eating our cats' food. We were shocked to find she had babies in her pouch and most of them fled after the mom was killed. We put the dog in his pen and corralled all the babies - 8 in all. My husband found a couple still in the pouch attached to her. We didn't know for sure what to do so we called our local humane society to get some advice. The nice man that answered said there was a woman in the county who does rescue care for opossums and he came out to get the babies, took the dead mother with him to dispose of, then delivered the babies to the woman who did the rescue care. It didn't cost us anything, but we sent the human society a donation in appreciation.Find mother opossum dead babies still nursing on her. what to do help now?
I agree call wild life rescue. If you are positive the mother is dead and not just ';playing'; You could put on some gloves and gently place the babies in a shoebox and take them if wildlife wont come out to get them, or will take too long. Many vets also serve as wildlife rescue drop off points and you can take them there as well. Call around.They dont usually charge, but may ask for a donation. Good Luck and I hope those possum babies make it!Find mother opossum dead babies still nursing on her. what to do help now?
