Chances are those button quail eggs are too large, if they're 5 times the size of the head. I would recommend trying finch eggs instead.
Try http://www.zebrafinch.com/Research.html. This is run by a guy named Garrie, in Louisiana, and he ships boxes of finch eggs. I think they're primarily for research, but he's agreed to ship me a box - they should arrive tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed, because up until now I've been having to drive over 2 hours just to get enough eggs to keep my little egg eaters alive!
Good luck.
