@Tanmay Ambekar

Surely the answer to your question isn't as simple as providing a walking surface which affords some traction... What is that? Bare tile? Marble? That's like walking on an ice rink for your tortoise.

If that doesn't work, then your tortoise may be experiencing metabolic bone disease. Stars normally walk with straight legs and keep their shells lifted high off the ground. Poorly developed bones and muscles will make doing so difficult.

Cucumber isn't an ideal food as it has a very high water content and doesn't meet many nutritional needs
