I'd say try to cram as many animals as possible into it before sending it out, but I don't want to hear about a bunch of animals dying when ken's boat buckles and sinks.
I once read a plausible scenario for how a boat would have survived a global flood (it make have been at Talk Origins, but I'm not sure).
1. Build a scale model of your Ark about 2 feet long.
2. Build it out of balsa (or a similarly light wood - remember, this is to scale).
3. Hold it together with a selection of twine, commercial wood glue, and toothpicks.
4. Place the finished model ever-so-gently in an oversized bathtub (a home spa would be ideal).
And lastly...
