Default [Tokay Gecko]Question about quail eggs and voice

Hello I have a following questions:
1. It is said that, aside from insects, tokays are catching little frogs, lizards and, sometimes, eggs of small birds. Can they actually eat quail's eggs from grocery store? I mean eggs are very nutritious and have a lot of essential calcium but they won't move like other prey so maybe tokays are eating eggs by smell.
2. My tokay(CB) is silent all the time and barked only once, when I forcefeed him with vitaminized locust(he refused to eat for a week and began to lose weight but later started eating normally). Do your capture bred tokays are vocal ones or rather silent?
3. About sizes. It is said that male tokays are significantly bigger than females. What rate of sizes are normal so one tokay won't "supress" the other? My male is 27 cm long with weight about 70 gramms. What size it shopuld be for female gecko so they can coexist without "supression"?
Thanks for answers.

Tokays do eat a wide variety of animals and insects but I would not recomend feeding them eggs.
All my tokays are really vocal both cb and wc
Females are alot smaller than males. I have a male that is around 300 grams and the female is around 100 grams that is with him.

And what size proportions is normal for them? I got 27 cm long male and not sure what size female should be so they can coexist normally.

I really cant give you a exact size that a female should be to coexist with a male but females will can be tremendously smaller than males and be just fine. As long as they are old enough to breed you can put them with any size male. I wouldnt breed females till they are around 55grams or more.
