I'm sure that given the right conditions, i.e. heat, light, humidity, food etc, they will mate. Are you sure they are Male and Female  (just checking).
Like i've said if they have the right environment they will breed, good luck and let us know how you get on!

Depending on their weight they are probably a little too young to mate at just a year old. From what I have read on various forums people seem to think it is best not to mate your geckos until the female is 35g.
I'm sure your geckos will eventually 'get it on' without any help on your part and eggs will follow shortly.

 yep that may work
Other than that you need to do NOTHING what so ever, they will breed when they are ready. One thing I would ensure is that you keep a nest box in the viv at all times and check that it's not too wet (just slightly damp, NO excess water and kinda loose / crumbly in texture, TOO wet is worse than too dry).
Make sure you keep the calcium intake up (CGD is great) and just check the nest box each week.

I mix mine as runny as water, it's thickens slowly over a few hours.
You can offer as much as you wish.
Here's some of mine enjoying it
