You don't feed a venus fly trap, they feed themselves. I used to have one too, keep it some where where there is a lot of flies, but they don't live for very long. Hope this helps!
EDIT:
If you keep your trap outside, it will get plenty of food itself from bugs crawling over the leaves. However, if you keep it indoors or in a greenhouse, you'll need to feed it yourself. The amount will vary on the plant, but they can go months without food. Once every couple of months at a minimum and twice a week maximum. Don't overfeed it.
Also, if the traps stop closing when you trigger them, they can't close any more - it's to do with acid growth: the cells can no longer elongate. Leave these leaves on though as they photosynthesise and will turn black once the plant no longer wants them - usually after a couple of months.
What else can I help you with?

Where does stimulus occur?
Assuming you are referring to the different types of "environmental stimuli," as in biology, the answer would include many sources. All living things (organisms) respond to environmental stimuli; this is one of the seven key characteristics of living things (including evolution, order, regulation, growth and development, reproduction, and energy utilization). So, for example, our bodies can respond to physical damage by making us aware of it through our feeling of pain. The "fight or flight" response can be triggered by threatening environmental stimuli. Or, a Venus fly trap will snap shut when an insect lands in its trap.

Why do Venus fly trap insects?
Most carnivorous plants originate in soils that are deficient in natural sources of Nitrogen. Carnivorous plants (such as Venus flytraps - Dionea spp.) trap and digest insects to extract the Nitrogen (and other nutrients) from their bodies. All carnivorous plants are intolerant to artificial fertilisers which can kill them if applied.
