Bulking up a thin bearded dragon?

[EpitaphREI]

Hello everyone! Two days ago I purchased a new bearded dragon, a young citrus/orange visible hypo/trans female. She was the runt of her clutch, and was less than half the size of her clutch-mates. Despite this, she is quite healthy and active. Yesterday she ate quite a few crickets, quite voraciously, but threw them up. She also pooped yesterday. Otherwise, she has not eaten. Her mouth is in shed, and is making her grumpy. Any tips for spurring her appetite and bulking her up?

As some additional information:

Lighting: Powersun 100w
Temps: Basking spot: ~100 degrees, Cool side: ~80 degrees (using probe thermometer)
Enclosure: 25 gallon
Diet: Crickets, dubias presented but not eaten, juvenile bearded dragon pellets for crude protein content also not eaten.
Substrate: Paper towels

Please ask for any other information if needed.

Maybe bump up the basking spot temp to 105-110, babies like it a little hotter than adults, it has seemed to help my little guys appetite.

wow she's a stunner! Weird that she threw up but she looks nice and healthy. How long did you feed her for when she threw up?

Thanks for the compliments on her!

She only ate about 6-7 appropriately sized crickets, just under 1/2 inch, before throwing up. However, I do not have any knowledge of how much she had been eating previously with the breeder. I believe she just overate, and combined with a day of stress in transport and at a reptile show, it messed up her system.

Today she seems to have improved quite a bit, and has eaten several crickets and a few dubia, which she seems to have finally realized are in fact edible. I'll report back if anything changes, but for now she seems to be back to a typical feeding schedule.
