You don't have to worry about a baby getting fat but you may have a problem feeding him anything else after he eats waxies. They have been described as leopard gecko "Twinkies." Once they get a taste for wax worms they often refuse more nutritional food items. Then you have to wean them back to mealworms and crickets with such things as mealworm shakes, smooshed crickets, etc. Pet food "Fear Factor" style, especially for whoever has to clean the blender!
Waxworms do have nutritional value, along with lots of fat, but at 10 cents a shot I don't see the point.
