She fed them for me and they all ate so I figured if all else fails I will purchase from there.

Unfortunately neither Josh's Frogs or Rainforest junkies have what i'm looking for.

Very few people breed firebellies, it just isn't economically feasible. They come in as very cheap imports, are hardy, and adapt well to captivity with minimal losses. A breeder can not maintain a colony and raise tadpoles into salable froglets for anywhere near the cost of an imported specimen and there is no distinct benefit to CB over imports like there is with many other frogs.
