I have a living tortoise that didn't poop for 7 months. I'd be enthusiastic about the continued eating.
I have seven tortoises and at least two of them I've never seen poop. It happens, I'm very sure, but I never see it.
You know that in order to digest and pass the food tortoises require a temperature of at least 80 degrees.
I would probably request an Xray at this point to look for a blockage and just continue with the observation.

Hi
Yeh I have defiantly seen him poo since we brought him home just not recently
His table is at correct temp but he doesn't bask a lot just a few minutes and then goes in his hide again
Even over summer when he was outside he hide more in his hide than in the sunshine

My tortoises all live outside and they also spend more time inside the hides than out in the sun.

Have you tried grating the cucumber so that it's all mushy?
It seems to go through the system quicker, did the same with the pumpkin.
I have been a bit wary about giving chunks of cucumber as Lola seemed to get it stuck in his throat.
He was fine but gave me a real scare.
