I was riding down the road about a half an hour ago and saw a dead opossum, I stopped and was able to find one baby...it is tiny and I am not sure how to get it to eat?? Is there anyone that can tell me?

Like Jackie said, we need to see a pic or know the size and other details.
Tiny possum babies need to be tube fed and you'd need to try and get it to an experienced rehabber.
If it is old enough to lick the liquid food you would be able to feed it with a dropper or syringe.
