They sleep for a LOONG time so waking them up every time to eat is bad. Cucumber is mostly water so not good for nutrition. Maybe try putting lettuce out for a while and when he gets hungry he'll eat it.
ok

ok it may take me some time to get the substrates though i should get coco coir easily any advice on how to feed it and should i put it in the sun. thanksHello!
1. Temperatures at day and night should be 28C (no less than 27C) even at night.
2. Basking spot should be 33-35C.
3. Humidity should be 80-85%.
Temperatures might influence his appetite and overall activity.
Daily soaks in a small amount of water (31-33C) for 30 minutes at least will greatly help him with rehydration.
You need to keep him in a "closed" type enclosure (vivairum) to maintain humidity and temperature. If you have a tortoise table - the easiest thing is to make a greenhouse tent over it.
Do not use sand for substrate. Plain wood is a bad option too. Good substrates are: orchid (fir) bark, coco coir, cypress mulch.

Then I would try to get juice only from the cucumber and put that on the better greens.
Update i implemented all suggested changes except for subsrate i gave it greens sprinkled with cucumber water it is not eating it more less sleep all day and night
Put the cucumber in a blender and mush it all up. Then add it to the greens and mix it all in so the greens are coated with cucumber mush.
uvb i have a temp measure thing in my room on the wall
