Correct me if I'm wrong, but I read that they initially process the cucumbers as a predator (most likely a snake). It's supposed to be fairly traumatic sending them into fight-or-flight when they feel like they are in a safe space.
But since I'm having trouble finding resources to back me up on those points (maybe it was all a dream) here's an article saying it's basically just a cheap jump scare and that any surprise object could scare them just as badly:
