That could well be the problem. When I used small containers, they'd dry out so fast. On really hot days I had to water twice a day. And even though strawberries are supposed to do well in containers, I couldn't get perfectly healthy-looking strawberry seedlings to thrive in a pot. I'm trying out bigger planters now... they seem to hold water better.
Also, I can't speak for all strawberries, but mine grow a better in the shade than in full sun. Mine are alpine strawberries though, don't know if that makes a difference.
