The sentence, while unusually written ("arratonados" looks like a made-up word to me), means: "with small and expressionless mouse-like eyes" or "mouse eyes".
It could be even more sinister if we interpret it as: "with small and expressionless rat eyes".

Hi Ocean. Welcome to the forum.
My guess is:
"With small and expressionless eyes that have been chewed on by rats"
"Arratonado" means something eaten by or gnawed on by a rat.

Goodness no, Marianne! Interesting guess, but no - you've been watching too many horror movies lately! :-) - Gekkosan, ABR 25, 2010
I got the "chewed on by rats" definition for "arratonado" from the R.A.E. Hmmm... - --Mariana--, ABR 25, 2010
