I am not sharing the name of the user who messaged me, but I wanted to share this. This is very common to happen. When a mother gets hit by a car, most times, babies are still alive. That being said, if they are still attached to their mother, they need to be removed. If you do not know how to do this, please youtube/google removing baby opossums from a dead mother. There are multiple tips on how to do this. Afterwards, babies need to kept warm till they can be brought to a wildlife rehabber. Do not feed babies anything or offer any water. This goes for all wildlife species, even adults. You do not know the situation and sometimes water and food can make the animal worse off. Finally, get a wildlife rehabber on the phone as soon as possible and get the babies dropped off.
As far as heat goes, use a heating pad half on, half off the box/container that the babies are in. Make sure it has air holes and a lid. Babies (depending on the age) can climb out of boxes and containers.
If anyone else has any questions or concerns, please reach out to me. I will gladly answer any and all questions you have.
