At least 2 racoon babies in house wall

Where do we go to get a baby raccoon out of our wall? We also have one in an attic crawlspace. We trapped the mother and released her into the wild. This was without knowing she had babies in the house. They are a few weeks old sounding. We trapped and released mother on Friday night. They have not had food and water since.

You need to call a nuisance wildlife control operator to trap the young. Also be prepared for the mother to try and get back into the house to get to her young.
