Pike County prosecutor Rob Junk said the baby's toes on one foot had been gnawed away.
Sheriff's deputies went to the home in Ohio on Sunday after receiving an anonymous tip.
The baby is recovering from her ordeal at a hospital in Columbus.
A married couple and the 18-year-old boyfriend of the baby's mother have been charged with endangering a child.
They were in court for an initial hearing on Tuesday and are being detained pending a hearing in two weeks.
The prosecutor said all the suspects lived in the mobile home, near Piketon, a village noted for its old uranium-enrichment plant.
Mr Junk said the baby's mother is a juvenile - he would not identify her or say if she will be charged.
