My cucumbers always do that when transplanted in to soil from their seedling pots .They seem to lose there first leaves then pickup again and grow on.
Having said that I've just acquired a greenhouse and those in there have not done that at all. Maybe its the process of transplanting. Have you just planted them to soil from pots?

I am a real gardening newbie but my greenhouse cucumbers are doing very well indeed.
My M-I-L has always told me that cucumbers don't like water on them, so I tend to water the ground around them - but not too much.
I would tend to agree with Philippa - have you given them too much perhaps (and if it is in a greenhouse - are you venting in this hot weather?)
