I planted some strawberry plants in large pots. They were growing well for a couple of weeks when one night something has eaten all the leaves of the plants. What may have caused this?

Sounds like some animal if all eaten in one night, If over a couple of nights then some grub probably.

Read up about how to grow strawberries or go back through the last 50 posts here. I would suggest you scrap the idea of a hanging basket. Have a big pot where you can plant several plants or plant in the ground.

My hanging baskets never survive or thrive, yet planting in large pots that already have a plant, and they have taken off!! Seperate them from the hanger and plant in pots

Anything planted in a pot requires a lot more attention to watering and the amount of fertiliser you apply. A fine line between under watering and over watering, same with fertiliser. Too much fert and the plant will be just leaves. The other night on a gardening show I saw a person fill 3 pots of reducing sizes to make a tower. One pot on top of another on top of another.. The bottom pot about 15 (??)

Will my strawberries survive in a garden bed over Brisbane summer? I'm worried the heat may kill them. I have a mother plant that has been giving off runners that I have also replanted around mid October. I planted the mother plant in mid September, should I be expecting strawberries from the mother plant or just the runners due to when I potted them?

Just water them 3-4 times a week. Strawberries have shallow roots so need watering regularly. S E Qld strawberry runners are planted out early April and produce strawberries June until Sept/Oct. You keep some of the plants to produce runners over summer and then plant them April. Read back 3-4 pages of comments here.
