Yes and much too young to be away from mom. Please call a wildlife Rehabber asap!

That’s what I was gonna say, look for mom, if no mom, wildlife rehab.

"According to the California Wildlife Center, baby opossums, also known as Joeys, that are seven inches or longer should be left alone if found in the wild unless they are noticeably injured. Smaller Joeys should be taken to your local animal welfare center."

They are usually very shy and afraid of people.
