Dissecting the nerve at the hip is tricky. Switch to the dorsal side (flip the frog over) and expose the nerve in the thigh where it lies deep between the large thigh muscles. To do this, pull apart the two large groups of thigh muscles and pin them down so that their inner sides are exposed. Cut through the overlying membranes and uncover the nerve and the nearby blood vessel.

The nerve runs parallel to the blood vessel. Do not remove the vessel, it will be removed once the nerve is completely dissected.
