I would love to find Bermuda grass hay! I live in Arizona where Bermuda grass is everywhere, but not in my backyard, yet....and do they eat the grass seeds themselves or do I need to get to growing!? ??

Call around to feed stores and ask if they have either bermuda grass hay or orchard grass hay. Both are good for grass-eating tortoises.
I'm looking for bermuda grass seed.
Know where to find any without added chemicals or fertilizer?
No bermuda
Check with a feed store, tractor supply, or a business that caters to horse people. You want pasture seed intended for animals to graze on.
Bermuda is fine, but here in SoCal I have had excellent results with this one:

I tried that one and it died after few months. I watered almost everyday and didn't mow it.Check with a feed store, tractor supply, or a business that caters to horse people. You want pasture seed intended for animals to graze on.

I still have some seeds leftover so maybe I'll try again. I wonder if it being overgrazed.
I also have windows in my house and it reflects the sun on to the grass making the area drier. I wonder if that's why my grass keeps dying.
I've heard bermuda is pretty hardy grass type and tolerate overgrazing and heat
